Howenburg
Howenburg is the capital of Howyth, and presently of the Protectorate-Commonwealth, so long as the Howyth bloodline rules as emperor. It is a growing metropolis that has only gained significance as a result of three generations of imperial rule. It is, however, a prosperous city, with all railroads beginning within it, and the bulk of the nation's factories surrounding the crownlands.
Emperor Karsten VI continues to emphasize its growth, seeing a central capital city as the lifeblood of his rule's continuation, and thus the stability of the empire.
